Brian Green, 74, was found guilty in his absence of five counts of rape following a trial at Leeds Crown Court in March this year. Four of the counts related to multiple incidences of rape – of which there were at least five for each.
After an adjournment, Green still failed to turn up for his sentencing on Wednesday and the court heard he was to be sentenced for 22 years in prison.
Prosecutor Katherine Robinson told the court that Green would tell his victim – who was nine when the abuse started – that she was “ugly, or stupid.” She said: “He said no one loved her. She suffered and continues to suffer extreme psychological harm and she was isolated.
There were a minimum of 21 rapes over a four-year period. He told her not to tell anyone. Brian Green has been sentenced in his absence to a lengthy jail term, reflecting the very serious non recent offences he committed against a young and vulnerable child.
